AAKHREE RAASTA:One of the most remarkable movies of the legend Mr Amitabh Bachchan, Aakhree Raasta was a 1986 crime drama directed by K. Bhagyaraj. The reason we picked this movie is that the theme of revenge continues to be popular in Bollywood and the story of a father and a son on the opposite side of the law still makes for a gripping watch. If we were to pick a name to do the iconic double role, we would say Salman Khan, who has donned similar roles in the past to great effect.

BATON BATON MEIN:While there was a buzz of this 1979 Romantic Comedy being remade, we haven’t heard much from it, of late. I mean, we all love a good rom-com and this one is perfect.

When it does, I surely want the Mumbai local train meeting sequences intact in the new movie with a fresh update.

DO ANKHEN BARAH HAATH:This movies from the late 1950s has themes that continue to be relevant today.
